Points to Keep In Mind

Veganism is a great diet to clean you up, if you have been eating a lot of less clean foods

While veganism can be a good thing for a short amount of time, to clean out your system, a lot of people have difficulties with the diet in the long run

When you are stuck on one diet for a long time, your chances of missing certain important nutrients goes up

Look at dieting as something that you rotate, moving through different types, to not only find what works best for you, but also to make sure you are developing any deficiencies by following one diet for too long

Listen to your body very carefully, to discover what works best for you in a diet

Bad animals sources are worse for you than bad vegan sources

The secret to fat loss is to:

Not have your blood sugar levels rise throughout the day

Have no period of time during the day when those blood sugar levels spike

Accomplish the above by:

Consuming the equivalent of 2 teaspoons of ceylon cinnamon per day

Consuming bitter melon extract

Any supplement that claims to be for fat loss should accomplish that not by jacking up your central nervous system, but by instead controlling your blood sugar levels
